Where Kontek Guard Booths Make a Difference in Facility Security

Security decisions at facility entrances happen quickly. Kontek guard booths are designed for locations where controlling who enters and exits a site matters.

These booths are more than simple shelters. They serve as security checkpoints that help guards manage vehicle flow, check credentials, and stay aware of what is happening around them.

Government Facilities Secure access points for personnel screening, credential checks, and controlled entry
Nuclear Facilities Hardened checkpoints designed to support high-security access control and perimeter monitoring
Manufacturing Plants Vehicle and personnel control at entrances, shipping areas, and restricted zones
Airports Traffic control and security presence at service roads, employee entrances, and perimeter gates
Military Bases & Facilities Controlled entry points supporting force protection and access management
Other High-Security Sites Locations that require protection against ballistic, forced entry, or elevated threat risks
